Bok Tower Gardens
is a contemplative and informal woodland setting offering a
series of romantic recesses and tranquil resting spots,
picturesque vistas and breathtaking views. Acres of ferns,
palms, oaks and pines, fashion a lush backdrop for spectacular
seasonal colors.
One of the

filled with a wide array of wildlife. It includes 126 different
species of birds. The grounds of Bok Tower Gardens is a
designated site on the Great Florida Birding Trail.
Included in the
cost will be a docent led tour of the gardens, a tour of the
historic Pinewood Estate, decorated in all of its holiday
splendor, a box lunch and carillon concert prior to our
departure. There will also be
